GenAP on the Compute Canada Arbutus Cloud

As of spring 2021, the GenAP infrastructure completely relies on the Compute Canada Arbutus Cloud located at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, thanks to large allocations (1000+ vCPUs, ~10 TB of RAM, 900 TB Storage) granted to us through the Research Platform Program.
